Provider: Unless your hemorrhoids are bleeding, your PCP should be able to manage your symptoms. Adding a stool softener/laxative might help and getting suppositories specifically for hemorrhoids. If you can't see your doctor go to the ER. All the best.

Question 7

got pco. i am 4 days late. i am taking duphaston. have backache, stomach cramp, stomach bloated, gas, brown discharge, moody.hcg -ve. wht is the reason?

Accepted Answer

Premenstrual: These are premenstrual symptoms which can be exaggerated in pts with conditions like pco.  In addition, another condition, endometriosis can cause as well.  Basically the Progesterone which is high in your body right now, as well as inflammatory neurotransmitters, like prostaglandins, are the cause.  An anti-prostaglandin, like ibuprofen, is your best medication to treat.

Question 8

can ibs gas buildup cause ribs and underarm areas to be sore.stomach has been bloated lately, quit drinking coffee and pain reduced.

Accepted Answer

It COULD: soreness under ribs is not uncommon with gas collections in the intestine,  but in underarm is rather high.  If your stomach is bloated, there could be a kind of blockage and drinking coffee would cause the intestine to be active and make the pain worse.  Avoid beans, cabbage, beer, chewing gum.  You should see a physician if this continues.

Question 9

i have scoliosis  and svt i notice when i eat fiber foods my intestine and stomach bloat up and causes more fast heartbeats till i expel gas. why?

Accepted Answer

Distension: Some patients do notice more heart rhythm disturbance after eating,which is attributed to stomach distension affecting the vagus nerve. The same thing can occur with gaseous distension of the stomach. To prevent gas buildup, take simethicone 1/2 hour after meals to see if it helps. Drinking hot water helps break down gas and expedites its passage through the intestinal tract.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

ABDOMINAL PAIN.: Avoid carbonated and caffienated beverages.Try maalox or gasex.If symptoms still persist see your doctor.
